Install Compeller MCP

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user compeller-mcp 'https://compeller.ai/api/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://compeller.ai/api/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=compeller-mcp&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvbXBlbGxlci5haS9hcGkvbWNwIn0=

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://compeller.ai/api/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add compeller-mcp --url 'https://compeller.ai/api/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login compeller-mcp if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by compellerai/compeller-mcp in README.md.

Public documentation and metadata for the hosted Compeller MCP server.

Compeller turns music into performance-ready visuals. Agents can discover styles and pricing, search for music, create and track Compels, start renders, retrieve finished videos, and register signed webhooks for completion events.

This repository contains public connector documentation and metadata only. The production Compeller application source code is not published here.

Remote MCP endpoint

https://compeller.ai/api/mcp

Quick config

Most MCP clients that support remote Streamable HTTP servers can use:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compeller": {
      "url": "https://compeller.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_COMPELLER_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

If your MCP client stores raw token values without the Bearer prefix, use the alternate header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compeller": {
      "url": "https://compeller.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Token": "YOUR_COMPELLER_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Discovery works without authentication. Generation, account, media, rendering, and webhook tools require a Compeller API token.
